I've looked around and am coming up short. Does anyone have a good place I could look to get a new motor for my power rear tailgate window. LMC apparently doesn't carry them anymore and that has been my go-to for all my parts so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen them on Rock Auto. Go to Interior/Window Motor. Have seen them there for around $100.
LMC shows they are in stock.
Part number 38-6585

Rockauto.com is a very good source. The motors are rebuilt by Cardone industries and only by Cardone industries, so there isn't a lot of selection or price variation.
They are listed as new with no core charge made for Cardone.

I could be wrong, but I've never seen any listed as new, only rebuilt. I recently had to replace my electric motor power cable from the motor to the transmission gear unit and I ordered a GM part, and it came identical to a LMC power cable (Same color and fittings) so I doubt there is any different manufacturer ?

Just order one from Rock Auto 1990 blazer, Cardone new rear motor $107.79 Part # 82200. They also list a rebuilt #4220 for 97.79 + 22.50 for core. New one come with limited life time warranty, rebuilt is 1 year or 18,000 miles.

Some of Rock Auto's parts listings are goofy,I've found things listed in sections the part your looking for isn't really part of..like a VRV valve for a 6.2 diesel is listed under "emissions" ,but it has nothing to do with emissions,it simply controls vacuum to the vacuum modulator on the TH400..
Moral of the story--if its not listed where you think it should be--look everywhere!..

Whats wrong with the Delco Professional unit at $28.79?
Not for the rear window, right or left front.

I should mention, my problem with my tailgate, was that the window tends to go down too far, ???? and in my case the cable got stuffed up into the window gears and got chewed up that way. So I bought a Cardone motor five years ago when I restored my Blazer, and I had an extra power cable which is why I found the LMC and the GM replacement the same color and connections, kinda odd I thought ? But rockauto site says the Cardone #82200 is brand new, and the Cardone #4220 is a rebuild. I also see Rockauto sells CMK 4145423811S tailgate felts for the 2 guide rails in the tailgate, You might want to see how yours are, I did and replaced mine, after 30 years, they are pretty much shot. Tightens up the window operation. I bought a can of WD-40 Specialist Water-Resistant Silicone spray and soak down your side felts and it helps the window work a lot better.
